We have a range of thermal imaging, low-light cameras and dual systems that combine both. We can develop bespoke systems for onshore, coastal and offshore installation, with gyro-stablised motion compensation as required.
Imaging Benefits
- Additional information for cetacean monitoring and migration.
- Security
- Safety (e.g. man over board)
- Avoidance of hazards such as debris and fishing gear.
Night Navigator 2526
The Night Navigator™ 2526 is the most rugged, low maintenance, compact electro-optical system designed for USV, automated ships, paramilitary missions, commercial vessels and leisure craft alike. Mast-mounted payload platform, this multi-spectrum imaging system offers exceptional performance. It integrates an uncooled high-resolution thermal imager with continuous optical zoom with an HD day camera with the best low light sensitivity in a gyro-stabilized sensor platform with additional video stabilization. Controllable from the bridge of a ship or through IP network onboard and remotely, this COTS system is built to military standard.
Key Features
- Compact, rugged, marinized, low maintenance design
- LWIR uncooled thermal imager with 4x continuous optical zoom for best surrounding awareness.
- HD Day / low light camera with 30x optical zoom and 0.013Lux low light sensitivity
- Streams H.264 (HD) video with PiP and communicates digitally over IP network (Ethernet)
- Outputs video in dedicated coax cable to the bridge in HD-
- Single payload with no junction boxes or interface modules simplifies installations and retrofit, while reducing maintenance.
- Designed to withstand marine environmental conditions and proven by over 10 years and hundreds of successful operating installations worldwide.
